About

I’m Bernardo, a software engineer at AWS, where I work on Rust build systems.

Previously, I worked at Google Quantum AI on the QKernel, the control stack for the quantum computer, and QCC, the quantum circuit compiler.

I was born in Brazil, and studied Computer Engineering at IST in Lisbon, Portugal before dropping out. I now live in New York City, and you can reach me at bernardo@meurer.org.

You can read more about me in my CV.
